The Razor House’s sleek contemporary lines and commanding views over the Pacific Ocean have graced the pages of cutting-edge magazines and websites around the world, in addition to having a starring role in Visa Black Card and Calvin Klein television commercials.
The “Girl on Fire” and 15-time-Grammy-winner, Alicia Keys, holds the keys to the house as its new owner. Designed by Wallace E. Cunningham in La Jolla, California, it was on the market originally at $45 million, but after several price cuts, Keys paid $20.8 million.
Built in 2007, the Razor House extends several stories below the original surface so that each roof forms a terrace to the adjacent upper floor. The main house has 10,240 square feet of living space including two master suites, two additional bedrooms, six baths, two steam rooms/showers, a gym, roof-top spa and built-in outdoor BBQ. The master-suite baths include showers and freestanding tubs, as well as closets. The detached multi-level guest house includes two bedrooms and two baths, each having separate entry points on different levels.
Luxury finishes and special touches include travertine stone floors that run continuously from interior to exterior, solid walnut flooring in the library and on the family room ceiling, and suede-wrapped walls in the primary master suite. Both the main kitchen and service kitchen are furnished with Gaggenau, Miele, Subzero and Hoshizaki appliances, and the computer room houses all of the home’s integration and automation systems.
A subterranean garage houses four cars, and a glass elevator operates from the subterranean garage level, all the way to the rooftop-terrace of the home. Entertainment includes a state-of-the-art theater and a 5,100-cubic-foot infinity swimming pool that visually blends in with the ocean.
